72.142.88.202 did not find what they were looking for.
5 years agoHi, I think it would be very beneficial to include typical infiltration rates for the different hydrologic soil groups that people could use for preliminary design purposes for water balance, LID design etc. when the available geotechnical report does not provide an infiltration rate/hydraulic conductivity, or a geotechnical report is pending. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual has a page like this (https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/Design_infiltration_rates), but working in Ontario it would be better to reference the STEP site, rather than an American source. This could be added with the disclaimer that actual on site infiltration rates should be measured prior to finalizing a design. If you review and find the Minnesota infiltration rates acceptable but don't want to include a similar table on your page, including a link to it would also be beneficial to confirm that STEP supports these values.
Thanks!
